THCV, the legal cannabis molecule to consume

The world is turning more and more towards an ancient medical practice which is that of using plants for the relief of various pains and ailments. Among pain and ailment relief solutions, cannabis plays an important role through the different molecules it contains, including CBD, HHC, H4CBD and THCV.

Some legal cannabis molecules are very well known. This is CBD for example. Others such as THCV are not yet well known although they are beneficial to the health of consumers. THCV or tetrahydrocannabivarin is a molecule that is now attracting attention through the various products that contain it. To better situate you, we will start from THC which is the molecule that many people know as the psychoactive molecule. THCV is a cousin molecule of THC.

However, their resemblance is not total. There are slight differences that make THCV beneficial to the body. THCV is a cannabinoid that has been discovered since the 1970s. However, it is not yet known in the same way as the other molecules of the cannabis plant. This is probably due to its low presence in several varieties of legal cannabis plants. THCV is now more accessible in Belgium or France thanks to Kromood which offers you some products based on this molecule.

What do you know about the chemical structure of THCV?

Knowing everything about THCV Belgium & France before consuming it is of paramount importance. The production of THCV in cannabis is from its acid form which is THCV-A. To obtain THCV from THCV-A, we go through a decarboxylation process which heats up the plant. This process converts the THCV-A molecule into a THCV molecule.

As we stated above, the structure of THCV is not really different from that of THC. However, the difference is in the propyl chain which contains three carbon atoms in THCV, while in THC it contains 5 carbon atoms. It may seem like a change that has no impact and is minimal. However, this is not the case. This small difference creates a difference in the effects of the product on the body.

The effects following the consumption of THCV

Like the other molecules of the cannabis plant, THCV also has its specific effects on the organism. The body has many cannabinoid receptors located throughout the organism. THC, for example, binds to CB1 receptors before reacting and giving effects. THCV is often likened to a neutral molecule. This molecule does not create side effects, and does not cause euphoria like THC. It should be noted that THCV has a double-sided action which is important to know. Depending on its concentrations, the effects may vary.

When the concentration of THCV is low, i.e. less than 10%, then in this case, THCV acts as an antagonist of the CB1 and CB2 receptors. However, it still retains its own therapeutic properties. When THCV has a concentration greater than 10%, it behaves as an agonist of these same receptors. In this case, it can produce euphoric and relaxing effects. It should be noted that THCV is not a prohibited molecule in Belgium or France. So you can buy THCV products and consume them with peace of mind.

What THCV or its properties can do

Each molecule of cannabis has its properties. But in any case, the main objective of these molecules is to help you in the fight against your various ailments. So, THCV has specific properties that we will reveal to you.

It is a neuroprotector

The first quality that THCV has is that it is neuroprotective. To be clear, THCV is a molecule that could protect the brain against potential damage and degenerative problems. So, THCV can therefore be used in the treatment of neurological diseases. There are studies that prove that the molecule could slow down Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases while protecting neurons and reducing inflammation.

A beneficial effect for the appetite

One of the best discoveries about THCV is its ability to impact appetite. This molecule is known to give the feeling of satiety and lack of hunger. By consuming products based on this molecule, you have the impression of not being hungry for a long time.

It is a property that can be beneficial for people who want to lose weight without exercising and who also have difficulty dieting. With a feeling of satiety, no need to consume meals. Thus, THCV can help you lose weight as soon as possible thanks to their calorie intake.

THCV may also have impacts on blood sugar regulation. Thus, it would help to reduce the resistance of certain people to insulin and thus improve their glucose tolerance. THCV may therefore be beneficial for people with type 2 diabetes.

Anti-inflammatory antioxidant properties

These are properties that all the molecules of the cannabis plant possess. So, THCV could be used to fight against chronic inflammation and bring more well-being to consumers. As indicated above, THCV is not a cannabis molecule prohibited in Belgium or France.

You can therefore buy THCV-based products in Belgium & France. You can find THCV resins, THCV oils, THCV flowers, etc. At Kromood, we offer a variety of products based on THCV Belgium & France.
